Our Veteran's Day is tomorrow (always on Monday so that the US Postal Service, governmental employees and large banks (not mine of course...grrr) get a three day weekend.

In any event ... a BIG thanks to the guys and ladies who have picked up and did what most of them probably didn't want to (I can't imagine anyone who would WANT to get shot at). My hat is off to you folks today -- all that really does is expose an ever increasing balding spot, which I can thank my Mother's Dad for -- R.I.P. Grandpa ... there's a little bit of you falling off my scalp each and every day.

Also noteworthy today:

Today is the Birthday of the United States Marine Corps -- Semper Fi and thank you also.

Today is the anniversary of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald -- which, were it not for the Gordon Lightfoot song, no one would know about.

I had the HONOR of putting down a tribute to my GREAT uncle, who was blown to bits (poor bastard !) in the first world war in France, last year.(the tribute, not the war !). I was the first member of our family ever to be able to make the trip, and it was quite emotional.
I`ve been to the war cemetry at OMAHA BEACH too. Awesome place. We need to always remember these guys

Every time I've read this it leaves my head spinning.
I honestly don't know what the hell TT means.
So if he thinks about A-Rod getting hurt, that is somehow a jinx and he will not get a competent back up QB because he doesn't want to jinx A-Rod?
I dunno but Teddy needs to pull his head out of the ground, put on his big boy pants, and wake up to reality and get better guys to back up A-Rod.
I'm sorry but if we are going to have a GM who will let fairy tales dictate his moves, then we need someone better suited for the job who is in reality.
I'm just not going to buy into the BS excuses of jinxes and crap.

Thanks Weeds, didn't know you were mean and green and a big Semper Fi.
Thanks for Veterans Day wishes, I don't know a single veteran who has ever thought about this day as theirs. Veterans do what they do because of love of country and love of their fellow man. No big deal I assure you but it's nice that people think about it.
Happy B-day Weeds! Now your age equals the number of the speed limit and that wonderful guy who plays MLB for the Bears.
